Testimonials

“I like having total independence. I like being free to choose if I want to join in on the activities, just go to relax in my room or do a puzzle in the recreation room. I can have breakfast from 5am to 10:30 they serve lunch at 12pm and dinner at 5pm. I like the desserts!”

Arnold, a resident

“St. Peter's is located in a lovely residential area. Our building is beautifully decorated and well kept. The manager and the entire staff present a warm, loving and friendly atmosphere for all the residents. I have been a resident here for over a year and a half and being able to walk to my church and have family nearby is a big plus!”

Fran, a resident

Our agency had the privilege of providing caregivers to The Senior Residence for the first year and a half of its operation when that function was brought in-house. The Residence is adjacent to Van Saun Park and is a great option for seniors looking for an independent community in the Bergen County area. The facility offers the charm of a traditional building--high ceilings, hardwood floors and a beautiful, brick-enclosed sun porch--along with the comforts and convenience of a modern kitchen and bathrooms. The staff are caring and responsive. St. Peter is truly a home to its residents.

Mark, CEO-Assisting Hands

From our family's initial contact several months ago, St Peter's has been the answer to our prayers. Our brother is thriving and enjoying living there. The staff members know the residents and really care about them. Meals are well prepared and the place is spotless. It is a great mix of privacy and social interaction. Gina helped us all from the first time we met her and continues to do so. St. Peter's has enabled our brother to live as independently as possible, which is what he really wanted and deserved after dealing with a long illness. Our family and brother couldn't be happier........

Jane, who has a family member living at The Senior Residence

I cannot say enough about St. Peter's Senior Residence. Our family feels so very blessed to have found such a caring environment for our brother Kevin. The facility is immaculate, warm and inviting. I am amazed at the degree to which every detail of daily living has been thoughtfully orchestrated. My brother needs consistent and loving support with meals, meds and daily living, He was only there a couple of months before he referred to the residents and helpers as his "St. Peter's family." The emotional atmosphere is intimate and personal.
The staff does so much to celebrate the individual. The food is home made and outstanding. He can get his room cleaned, his cloths washed. The food is very good and they accommodate for different dietary needs. Rates are reasonable for what is provided. All in all, a win!

Christine, who has a family member living at The Senior Residence

My friend, Arnold Ackerman, has been at the Senior Residence since it opened. He is well taken care of and the staff there are so caring and absolutely fabulous! I have been recommending people to this place since it opened and 2 residents are there because of my referrals. Gina Principato is so amazing and goes out of her way day or night to care for all the residents. Also, Connie and Miguel have gone out of their way to make Arnold comfortable. I am so thankful that we found this place for Arnold, it is local and I live in River Edge down the road. It is also a coincidence since my dear Aunt lived there about 15 years ago when it was previously opened so I knew it would be the place for Arnold.

“The building is beautiful and was recently renovated with beautiful new bathrooms and high ceilings with ceiling fans. There is a full sun room, sitting rooms and TV room. The co-directors and staff are responsive and caring. If your parent is mentally alert, independent and social this is a beautiful, affordable option.”
